Default 2.5 teraflex spring lift question (track bar bracket)

I'm looking at the teraflex 2.5 spring lift with shock extensions for my 2 door. It says that it comes with a rear track bar bracket, which I believe is frame mounted. On their YouTube install video they show an "if included" rear axle mounted track bar bracket in addition to the rear frame mounted bracket (weird). Which one comes with the kit? Is one better than the other? Thanks in advance.

If I'm not mistaken, the old kit came with the frame mounted bracket. Now the new kit comes with the axle mounted bracket, which has different mounting holes to satisfy the different lift heights. Hopefully TF will chime in to clarify this....

I installed the 2.5" TF coil lift on my JKU 3 weeks ago. The kit came with a frame side. I have been told you are better off installing the axle side TB relocation bracket. Axle side doesnt require any drilling either.

Thanks for the input. Hopefully Teraflex can give a definitive answer.

Frame side is no bueno. I'd only go with the axle side bracket because it's more secure and raises the roll center for better handling. I recently saw a post where a frame side bracket cracked and the rear axle was free to move side to side a couple inches.

I believe the 2.5 coil lift with shock extensions includes the frame side bracket. The 2.5 coil lift w/ shocks and w/o shocks includes the axle bracket. I just ordered the kit with no shocks (got Bilstien upgrade from Northridge) and it came with the axle side bracket.
